Wow! Valerie I think that's really cool of you to post them on your blog!!! It's so awesome that you found those! who knows maybe i'll be able to find out more about grandma, because of course I was pretty young when she passed. But I was definately NOT too young to remember her. well I g2g ttyl LUV YA ~~~KELSIE~~~

How many people have said that over the years. The dead have monuments and holidays, the veterans (SHOULD) have respect in the free country they fought for, but remember the sacrifices of the ones left behind.

I am one of eight grandchildren. Grandpa passed away in October 2006; grandma passed away July 1994. While sifting through my grandparents' things, I found my grandma's diaries and journals. This is a compilation of her entries, entry-by-entry, day-by-day, in the 1940's. May you enjoy reading my grandmother's thoughts and learning more about my past just as I have.

Who's Who in Grandma's Diary?
